The Salesloft/Salesforce incident revealed the danger of BLA 5: Artifact Lifetime Exploitation. The flaw is simple: the application fails to expire tokens and sessions properly. Stolen OAuth tokens that should have been short-lived were used to steal AWS keys, Snowflake tokens, and passwords.

Security teams are drowning in alerts, and AI might not be the answer everyone thinks it is. In this episode, Erik Bloch, VP of Security at Illumio, breaks down the math on why AI-powered alert triage may be financially unfeasible for most organizations.

Many vendors are betting that AI will solve this problem by triaging alerts at scale. But the reality?

Recent UK breaches highlight how commoditised attacks and dark net markets provide ready stolen credentials for intrusions. Continuous authentication and behavioural analytics shift focus from the initial login to how a user interacts with data and resources, helping detection when attackers try to impersonate genuine behaviour.

Welcome to Data Security Decoded. Join host Caleb Tolin in conversation with Morgan Adamski who leads Cyber, Data, and Tech Risk at PwC and is a former US national security leader who spent 16 years tracking nation-state threats inside the US government.
